FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE PODCAST

We’re mixing things up this month with a quick, 90-second spin—because everyone’s short on time and could use a laugh and a little practical advice.

So, I’m going to tell you THE most important thing you need to know about DAFs – and that is: they’re just a payment option.

Really. Think of them like giving credit card details—ok, maybe more like a stock transfer—because they do require some internal steps to process and acknowledge. But at the end of the day, they’re simply a vehicle for making a charitable gift.

And because they’re just a payment option, the best way to increase your DAF gifts isn’t about paperwork—it’s about people. Build deeper, lasting relationships with your individual donors, and the DAF dollars will follow.

Good fundraising always starts with great relationships, and DAFs are no different.
